Was at the game. A beautiful work of art by JT. Top coaching, great clock management, impressive energy, great contribution by all the Freshmen who now are looking better every game. Freddy Wilson, nice work.

Pitt and Syracuse have left because the neighborhood was going down hill academically speaking. Associating with UNC, BC and Duke adds to the academic prestige of both schools. Anyone want to make that claim regarding teams added to the Big East in the last 10 years?

It's not the only reason, but it certainly helped persuade people in the university's executive offices.

The ACC is a basketball conference with Georgia Tech thrown in. Syracuse and Pittsburg are big time Basketball programs not big time football programs.
Football was not the original intent of the Big East. return to the roots. Say good bye to RU and UConn add Memphis, George Mason and a couple of other quality basketball programs and just get on with it.
This day was always fated to arrive.

If Congressman Paul makes noise about running as an independent,then watch how quickly the spotlight will turn toward him. Until then he will be treated as the barking dog in the neighbors yard, annoying but not a threat.

I understand the fact that you do not think people should profit from other's misery. But we need doctors, we need nurses we need jailers and we need funeral homes.

A funeral director makes about $90,000 a year in NJ. the owner of a funeral home makes more of course. They are business people not nuns or priests.

Who should do the work, how much should they get paid etc. You'll wind up with the system that the marketplace has already agreed upon. But if you can figure out a way to do it cheaper. People will beat a path to your door.

It's a business that society wants and needs. Someone to dispose of human remains. It is unpleasant work. It can be emotionally demanding at times. A physical plant is necessary (no online burials), with a payroll to meet. You need a degree and a license. You figure out what it costs on a daily basis, then you get a better idea of what you are getting for your 5-13k. It is a service that has as it's customer base, people who are distraught, but as a business transaction (which it is), it shares a cost structure similar to many other "main street"operations. Like any vendor, there are great experiences and terrible ones.
Anyone have a better idea?

He's smart. He knows when to keep his mouth shut. That's how he won the governorship, by not saying anything and letting the "anyone but Corzine" sentiment do the work for him. His numbers are down in NJ so the best thing he can do is keep his mouth shut.
By the by, Dems should find a candidate now to oppose him, because other than Corey Booker, the Dems have no one with a media profile, and will need the next two years to grow an opponent.

Worked on a history of the company project for ADP a number of years ago. Mr. Taub's story is a classic American success story. A Paterson native whose idea to automate accounting procedures, and later vision to move information to computers with help from IBM and Prudential were in the forefront of the movement into the information age. Any grumblers who deny Mr. Taub his due, should study his record. He made his money the old fashion way, he earned it.

Do your job congressman, leave the heavy constitutional lifting to others. I think it's above your pay grade.
Cut our taxes, bring us some jobs that aren't in the department of homeland security or as prison guards, bring us back more money from Washington, that is your job.

Where does NJ rank in fed tax $ returned to the state? 48th, 49th or 50th??? Way to go Scottso.
